Kathy Mattea September 9, 2011 | 7:30pm Known for such classic country hits as “Eighteen Wheels and A Dozen Roses,” Grammy Award-winner and Charleston, West Virginia native Kathy Mattea spent her childhood immersed in Appalachian culture. Throughout her career, Mattea has explored music’s most basic human essence, melodies steeped in emotion and timeless narratives delivered with beauty by an unmistakable voice.

Asleep at the Wheel October 7, 2011 | 7:30pm The Grammy winning, famed western-swing, boogie, and roots-music outfit Asleep At The Wheel is still on the up-swing. That’s saying something considering the group has been around for nearly 40 years, turning out an incredible 25+ albums while maintaining an unrelenting tour schedule.

Barbara Nissman November 5, 2011 | 7:30pm Described as a pianist of a bygone era, Barbara Nissman continues the grand bravura tradition of romantic pianism, making it relevant to our century. Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera called Nissman, “A magnificent interpreter of my music, one of the best pianists in the world.” Join us as she performs a concert celebrating the 200th birthday of composer Franz Liszt.

Julian Lage Group November 18, 2011 | 7:30pm Hailed by All About Jazz as "a giant in the making," virtuoso guitarist Julian Lage brings his offbeat, eclectic group with percussionist Tupac Mantilla, bassist Jorge Roeder and saxophonist Dan Blake to the stage of Carnegie Hall. His Grammy-nominated 2009 debut Sounding Point, was "a major find," declared Time Out New York - "springy, intelligent chamber Americana that fits perfectly into a spectrum of Nonesuch-style players like Bill Frisell and Chris Thile's Punch Brothers."

WV Symphony Orchestra Holiday Pops December 8, 2011 | 7:30pm Back by popular demand and sure to delight and entertain audiences, the WVSO presents Home for the Holidays, featuring guest baritone Steven Stull. Hear your favorite holiday music complete with the special touches and unique arrangements only Maestro Cooper and the WVSO can provide. Home for the Holidays is an unforgettable celebration of the season.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s Creole Christmas December 18, 2011 | 7:30pm Including such holiday classics as “Silent Night,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” and “Swingin’ in a Winter Wonderland,” this production has been bringing a New Orleans holiday tradition to audiences nationwide for years. Don’t miss this historic group as they continue in their mission to Nurture and Perpetuate the art form of New Orleans Jazz.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo February 9, 2012 | 7:30pm For more than forty years, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has married the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions to the sounds and sentiments of Christian gospel music. The result is a musical and spiritual alchemy that has touched a worldwide audience representing every corner of the religious, cultural and ethnic landscape. With three Grammys to their name, Ladysmith Black Mambazo sprang to worldwide popularity after collaborating with Paul Simon on his Graceland album.

Cathie Ryan March 9, 2012 | 7:30pm Cathie Ryan personifies Irish-America, a far-flung tribe who love their country yet were born into what their immigrant forebears perceived as exile. Generations later, they still cherish the music, literature and history of their ancestral homeland. Ryan's eloquent soprano keens and soars as her context shifts between ancient peat fires, long ago Appalachian spring-times and the bittersweet romanticism of a modern singer-songwriter.

An Evening with Anais Mitchell April 14, 2012 | 7:30pm From her current home base in a 200-year-old farmhouse in rural Vermont, Anaïs (“uh-NAY-iss”) Mitchell writes songs that are as intimate as conversations and as rich in detail as short stories. She is the rare musician who is equally comfortable wielding an acoustic guitar alone onstage, sharing a disc’s worth of alt-country duets, or scripting a vast operatic journey into the underworld. Acoustic Guitar compares her to Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Gillian Welch. Performance held in conjunction with the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival.

Greg Brown May 11, 2012 | 7:30pm One of American folk music's most prolific and profound singer/songwriters of the past three decades, Greg Brown has earned respect from his peers and a far-flung, passionately-devoted fan-base via a burnished, intimate baritone, a seemingly effortless gift for swinging, organic melody and--perhaps most of all--a humble, unvarnished poetic grace that can imbue even the most mundane, everyday human endeavors and emotions with quiet dignity, startling insight and gently twisted humor.
